Facial Cognitive BI: The Next Generation of Visual Analytics

Earlier we announced the latest version of Arcadia Enterprise 4.0, a major shift in the landscape for Visual Analytics in the World of BI. However, today I’m very excited to announce that as part of Arcadia 4.0, we’re proud to launch the next generation of business intelligence, Facial Cognitive BI.

In my short time working at Google, I learned a lot about the power data has in enabling creativity and extracting value from every corner of an organization. We took some of those learnings in the design of modern big data systems such as Apache Hadoop, at Arcadia Data with our 4.0 release, we incorporated Google’s Material Design philosophies to transform the user experience for visual analytics, and now we are again drawing inspiration from Google on how we can find cat videos on the internet, that is, how we can utilize modern AI and machine intelligence techniques through neural networks to deliver an even better BI experience.

We enable Facial Cognitive BI in Arcadia Enterprise 4.0 by leveraging a cloud-based Tensorflow cluster, where we use Blockchain to securely transmit and verify end user facial gestures via webcam and drones to predict and anticipate their data visualization needs. By combining the cloud, high-speed memory, GPUs, Tensorflow, Blockchain, streaming data, and drones Arcadia has created a seamless and simple stack for any data processing needs a user may have.

Body language is one of the most robust ways we as humans communicate. As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. The early days of BI were limited by the manual labor of report building and esoteric programming languages. Things only got worse from there with the constant need to create data extracts and build cubes whereby moving tons of data to build simple dashboards.

Search-based BI brought us closer to human simplicity but is rot with all the ambiguities and inconsistencies of natural language. With FC BI the user just reacts and looks at their data as they would with anything else in life. To illustrate the power of FC BI we highlight some examples below.
